Chapter 765: Half‑Step Transcendence!

He lay amid the collapsed ruins of the Dark Divine Mountain, his whole body drenched in blood, his breath sapped to the utmost.

His massive dark divine body was riddled with countless cracks, as if it could shatter completely at any moment!

Annihilation Demon Ancestor looked at Xuan with a face full of terror, as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

He cried out in a lost voice, shrieking:

"Your power… this is impossible! This cannot be! How could you possibly! How could you have reached this realm!"

His voice was filled with disbelief and despair, "Half-step transcendence! This is surely the great realm of half-step transcendence!!!"

He sighed to the heavens in despair, his voice full of sorrow and unwillingness: "Could it be… could it be that my Dark Clan is truly about to perish?"

"Lord of Darkness… Primordial Supreme Lord… you… when will you awaken!"

"My true self… unwilling!!!"

With the final roar of the Annihilation Demon Ancestor falling, his last thread of life was completely severed!

His towering body, riddled with cracks, could no longer hold, and it crashed down with a roar!

Then it turned to ash and dissipated into the Void!

Death Path Vanish!

Thus, the nine Great Apocalypse Sequences of the Dark Clan that had descended were all obliterated!

Corrosion Demon Ancestor—dead!

Blood Prison Demon Emperor—dead!

Annihilation Demon Ancestor—dead!

The other six Great Apocalypse Sequences— all perished!

And the one who slew them was merely a slap casually delivered by Xuan!

The entire battlefield, the whole world, the entire No Return Path, fell into absolute Dead Silence…

All living beings stared dumbfounded at this world‑shaking scene, unable to recover for a long time!

If one had not seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe this sight!

This is indeed the nine Great Apocalypse Sequences of the Dark Clan!

Each was an ancient elder who had stood in the Ultimate Leap Realm for endless ages!

Each had caused unimaginable cataclysms to the Zhutian Wanjie!

Each could be called the ultimate nightmare of the countless living beings of the Zhutian Wanjie!

Every one of them had exterminated countless great worlds, their hands stained with the blood of trillions of living beings!

Such apocalyptic existences, such terrifying nightmares that made the Zhutian Wanjie tremble in fear, were today all slain by this mysterious man—Xuan—with a single slap!

This moment reversed the battlefield's situation!

Originally, the Dark Clan held absolute advantage, the Zhutian Wanjie side suffered heavy casualties, and great figures were bleeding and even dying every moment!

But now, the Dark Clan's cutting‑edge war power—the nine Great Apocalypse Sequences—were instantly dead, not a single one left!

The entire Dark Clan camp instantly fell into chaos and panic!

Countless dark beings, seeing all nine Great Apocalypse Sequences fall, seeing the ancient ever‑present Dark Divine Mountain collapse with a thunderous crash, felt their faith shatter completely at that moment!

"No! This cannot be! How could the Great Apocalypse Sequence elders possibly be defeated!"

"The Dark Divine Mountain… the Dark Divine Mountain has collapsed!"

"It's over… our Dark Clan… it's over!"

Countless dark beings let out desperate wails, morale plummeting to the bottom instantly!

In contrast, the living beings of the Zhutian Wanjie, after a brief shock and stupefaction, erupted into earth‑shaking cheers!

Countless Zhutian Wanjie beings, with boundless reverence, gazed at that majestic figure!

That man, that man composed of Tai Chu, Tai Yuan and Tai Shi—Xuan!

He, with his own strength, reversed the battle!

He, with his own strength, slew the nine Great Apocalypse Sequences!

He, with his own strength, pulled the Zhutian Wanjie out of the abyss of despair!

"Xuan! Xuan has acted! With one hand he suppressed the nine Great Apocalypse Sequences of the Dark Clan! Truly worthy of this invincible overlord who dominates ten thousand ages! Simply amazing!"

The First Generation Universe Lord was so excited his voice trembled, his expression unable to hide shock and yearning!

In his eyes was full reverence, that is the weak's admiration for the strong, the junior's respect for the senior!

The Yin‑Yang Great Emperor also expressed countless emotions:

"Fortunately this one arrived in time. Otherwise today's battle, the outcome would have been unpredictable… The nine Great Apocalypse Sequences, each capable of suppressing ten thousand ages, if not for Xuan Tian Di's intervention, we today would likely meet a grim fate."

His words were full of relief and gratitude.

Sword Heavenly Emperor further exclaimed, his voice full of shock and awe:

"Indeed, Tai Chu Yuan Shi Great Celestial Venerable! The great realm of half‑step transcendence! This is a realm beyond our sight!"

Divine Phoenix Great Emperor, Heavenly Demon Great Emperor and Destiny Great Emperor and several other towering figures of the Ultimate Leap all became exceedingly reverent!

Their gazes toward Xuan were filled with reverence and yearning!

Xuan! This supreme existence! Though in cultivation, he is only one step beyond them!

Yet that one step creates a fundamental difference between Xuan and them! Like a Heavenly Moat!

The Ultimate Leap is already a supreme realm that countless beings of the Zhutian Wanjie have dreamed of but cannot reach! Those who can step into it are none other than the rare Heavenly Pride of ten thousand ages!

Yet Xuan, on this basis, took another half‑step!

It is this half‑step that let him initially ascend to the Transcendence Realm!

That realm is entirely different from the Ultimate Leap! It is a dimensional gap!

The Ultimate Leap still lies within the scope of the Dao, still pursuing fusion with the Dao, seeking the Dao's utmost!

But even a half‑step transcendence already begins to "transcend" above the Dao! No longer seeking fusion with the Dao, but to command the Dao, to surpass the Dao!

This gap is like the gap between mortals and deities! Like the gap between ants and the Heavenly Dragon!

They are not comparable!

Ye Wuque inhaled deeply; in his deep Dark Eye, strange colors flickered, his heart yearning.

In his gaze swirled gratitude, yearning, reverence and other complex lights, and he whispered, "It is truly the realm of half‑step transcendence… what a splendid bearing… what invincibility?"

He recalled the hardships of his journey, from a weak Human youth, step by step growing to his present state, having endured countless life‑and‑death trials, countless times struggling for survival in dire predicaments.

Yet even so, the gap to the half‑step transcendence realm remains an insurmountable chasm!

And the Xuan before him already stands at a height he can only look up to!

This stirs endless Fighting Spirit in Ye Wuque's heart!

"One day I will also reach this realm! No, I will surpass this realm!" Ye Wuque vowed silently in his heart, his eyes flashing with steadfast light!

Across the Zhutian Wanjie, countless beings began to cheer!

"Xuan Tian Di! Invincible!"

"Tai Chu, Primordial Great Celestial Venerable!"

"Xuan Tian Di! Xuan Tian Di! Xuan Tian Di!"
